'''Powers''' are a game mechanic in the {{series|Bloons TD}}. They were first introduced in the {{mobile version of|Bloons TD Battles}}, though similar mechanics also appear in ''[[Bloons TD 5]]'', ''[[Bloons Monkey City]]'', and ''[[Bloons TD Battles 2]]''. They are consumable items with beneficial effects that, unlike [[tower]]s and [[upgrade]]s, cannot be purchased with [[cash]].

They were first introduced in the {{multiplat version of|Bloons TD Battles}}, though similar mechanics also appear in ''[[Bloons TD 5]]'', ''[[Bloons Monkey City]]'', and ''[[Bloons TD Battles 2]]''. They are consumable items with beneficial effects that, unlike [[tower]]s and [[upgrade]]s, cannot normally be purchased with [[cash]].


==Mechanics by game==
==Mechanics==
===''Bloons TD Battles'' (mobile)===
===''Bloons TD Battles'' (multiplatform)===
Powers are split into five categories: Track Powers, Tower Powers, Bloon Powers, Sabotage Powers, and Eco Powers. Each category has one tier 1 Power that is unlocked by default and 12 unlockable Powers, split into three paths with four tiers. Each player can choose three Powers to bring into a game, and cannot choose more than one Power from a single category. Each Power has a limited number of uses, ranging from 1 to 20, and most Powers have a cooldown period after activation.


===''Bloons TD 6''===
===''Bloons TD 6''===
Powers can be obtained as rewards from many sources, including [[Daily Reward]]s, [[Daily Challenge (BTD6)|Daily Challenge]]s, [[Quest (BTD6)|Quest]]s, [[achievement]]s, and the [[Shop (BTD6)|Shop]]. They can either reward predetermined Powers or random Powers. When the game rewards random Powers, it chooses from one of two "pools", internally named <code>Attack</code> and <code>Best</code>. The pool it chooses from is specified by the source's reward data, but is not indicated to the player. All Powers within a pool have an equal chance of being selected.

Unless restricted, the player can use Powers at any time by dragging them onto the [[map]] from the menu. The player can unlock permanent enhancements for certain Powers with [[Monkey Knowledge (BTD6)|Monkey Knowledge]].
|style="vertical-align:top"|
 
<code>Attack</code>
Powers are not usable in [[CHIMPS]], the [[Challenge Editor]] and [[Map Editor]]'s test mode, [[Race Event]]s, Ranked [[Boss Bloon Event]]s, or any challenge or [[Quest (BTD6)|Quest]] where the [[challenge rule]]s prohibit Powers. In [[Contested Territory (BTD6)|Contested Territory]], [[Odyssey (BTD6)|Odyssey]] mode, and ''[[Rogue Legends]]'', the player can only use equipped Powers.
 
====Insta Monkeys====
{{main|Insta Monkey}}
Insta Monkeys are towers with pre-set [[upgrade]]s that the player can obtain and deploy in the same way as Powers. They are classified as Powers and are restricted in modes where Powers are disabled, though individual Insta Monkeys are also disabled if their corresponding towers or upgrades are restricted by challenge rules.
 
==== Powers Pro ====
{{Main|Power Pro}}
Powers Pro are an enhanced version of Powers introduced in {{BTD6 version|50.0}}. These feature improved versions of regular Powers with higher Monkey Money cost and can be upgraded after being placed by spending [[cash]] in a similar way to regular towers. They feature 3 paths with 3 upgrades each and cannot be crosspathed. As of {{BTD6 version|58.0}}, only 5 Powers have Pro versions: the [[Banana Farmer (BTD6)|Banana Farmer]], [[Super Monkey Storm (BTD6)|Super Monkey Storm]], [[Tech Bot (BTD6)|Tech Bot]], [[Monkey Boost (BTD6)|Monkey Boost]] and [[Portable Lake (BTD6)|Portable Lake]] as the [[Banana Farmer Pro]], [[Super Monkey Beacon]], [[Tech Bot Prime]], [[Hype Boost Monkey]] and [[Portable Lake Pro]] respectively.
 
===''Bloons Adventure Time TD''===
Like [[weapon (BATTD)|weapon]]s, [[trinket]]s, and [[ally (BATTD)|allies]], powers are divided into tiers of rarity: Common, Uncommon, Rare, Super Rare, and Epic. Unlike other equipment, the tier only determines the cost of the power. Powers have a second attribute, internally referred to as "quality", which comes in three tiers: "Small", "Medium", and "Large". Most powers have a cooldown period, typically two to four minutes long, which limits how often they can be used. Additionally, many powers are duration-based and cannot be reactivated until the duration ends, even if the cooldown has already ended.

All tier 1 powers are unlocked by default. The player can unlock additional Powers by spending XP earned from completing games. Each Power category has its own XP, and the player can also use Universal XP to unlock any Power. Unlocking a tier 3 Power requires unlocking the tier 2 Power on that path first, and unlocking a tier 4 Power requires unlocking the tier 3 Power on that path.

In [[Bloons TD 6 v46.0|Update 46.0]], the [[Battle Cat!|Battle Cat]] power was introduced. Besides the 3 gained from the "[[By the Power of Battle Cat!]]" quest, they can only be gained with real money purchases from the [[Shop (BTD6)|shop]].
*Most Powers are purchasable with [[Monkey Money]]. The [[Battle Cat!]] and [[Sword of Protection]] Powers, introduced in {{BTD6 version|46.0}} and {{BTD6 version|48.0}} respectively, are only purchasable with Monkey Money in ''[[Bloons TD 6+]]'' and ''[[Bloons TD 6 NETFLIX]]''. In ''Bloons TD 6'', they can only be bought with real money purchases from the [[Shop (BTD6)|shop]]. The only other way to obtain these is from certain Quests, which have a limited supply, or in ''[[Rogue Legends]]'', where they do not carry over into the main game.
 
*Powers are common rewards from [[Daily Reward]]s, [[Daily Challenge (BTD6)|Daily Challenge]]s, [[Quest (BTD6)|Quest]]s, [[achievement]]s, events, and the [[Shop (BTD6)|Shop]].
*When the game rewards random Powers, it chooses from one of two "pools", internally named <code>Attack</code> and <code>Best</code>. The pool it chooses from is specified by the source's reward data, but is not indicated to the player. All Powers within a pool have an equal chance of being selected.

Like [[weapon (BATTD)|weapon]]s, [[trinket]]s, and [[ally (BATTD)|allies]], powers are divided into tiers of rarity: Common, Uncommon, Rare, Super Rare, and Epic. Unlike other equipment, the tier only determines the cost of the power.

Additionally, many powers are duration-based and cannot be reactivated until the duration ends, even if the cooldown has already ended.
*The player can purchase powers for [[coin]]s at any time. The cost depends on the rarity.
*Random powers are rewards from completing [[map]]s, [[Adventure (BATTD)|Adventure]]s, the [[Bloon Beacon (BATTD)|Bloon Beacon]] (on Extreme difficulty only), and [[Daily Reward]]s. These depend on the power's "quality".
*Powers are purchasable from the [[Martian Trader]].
